Cape Verde has long been a development partner country for the Netherlands, but since 2004 the Netherlands is developing a new kind of relationship with Cape Verde covering a broader range of issues. This policy brief concerns one issue on which there is cooperation between the Netherlands (and other EU countries) and Cape Verde, namely migration. The policy brief outlines the nature of EU migration cooperation with Cape Verde, discusses one initiative (the Mobility Partnership) in some detail, and draws some general conclusions about the opportunities for the Netherlands and Cape Verde to cooperate on migration.
